But I see her very fine attributes. She does great lists! And certainly a good reference for those considering fasting and intermittent fasting.Re authophagy. Yeah, it is as I thought - most info online says basically no nutrition at all, even the 1-2 kcals per tea or coffee drink (for me it would add up to 10 to 12 cals a day then?) is too much for the process to kick in. I read one bit of info that said iit still works if drinking under 20 kcals - so who knows? I don't count on autophagy when I fast as I haven't done a no-cals at all ie water only fast for many years. If I do an extended fast in cold seasons I drink homemade bone broth, and have cream in my coffee. But I intentionally didn't do that this time as I'm considering going dairy free for a bit, and I definitely wanted to shut down the dishes train in the shared house I am in. (I had a sneaky suspicion I was ending up doing more than my own, and I was right. Nothing like a no-food fast for observing how a kitchen functions from the sidelines!)</blockquote>
